All good ideas so far, in the "more than one way to do it" spirit, can use "state" instead of "my", since state only initializes 1st time it's hit.
raku -ne 'state @i;@i.push($_) if .starts-with(q[WARN]); END .say for @i.sort' sample.log Or adapting Brad's answer with the feed operator for fun raku -e 'for lines() ==> grep /^WARN/ ==> sort() {.say}' sample.log Now, I didn't want to use 'map' in there, because of a habit of only using 'map' when I want the return values. When looping for side-effects only, like saying each value in a list, I want to use 'for'. UnFORtunately though I cannot find anything as clean looking as raku -e 'lines() ==> grep /^WARN/ ==> sort() ==> map *.say' sample.log reading entirely L-to-R which does NOT use map... ideas? -y On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 10:10 AM William Michels via perl6-users < perl6-users@perl.org> wrote: > > On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 5:16 AM WFB <wolfgang.banas...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I am trying to write an one-liner to go through all lines in a logfile and look for an certain key word, store the line and sort them before printing them out. > > > > My approach was: > > raku -ne "BEGIN {my @i }; @i.push($_); if $_ ~~ /^WARN/; END { @i.sort.say }" > > That does not work because @i does not exist in the if clause.
